Seth,

  I believe that the archives may contain an answer to your question by Carl
Conrad.  As I recall, I copied it off and posted it, with his permission, to
another list where the same question was raised.  I would point you to it,
but lack the necessary  computer prowess to find it for you.  Perhaps
someone else on the list recalls that post.

  blessings,

  Gene Baker
